If you know anything about Subaru, I hope safety is the first thing that comes to mind. Because safety is at the forefront of their design. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tests lots of new cars and in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 Subaru was and is the only car manufacturer to have earned IIHS's Top Safety Pick for all of their models. Yes, every single car they manufacture in the past four years has earned Top Safety Pick from IIHS! Subaru is the only company that earned this award for every car they manufacture. Check it out!
You can even check out all of the vehicles IIHS tested and watch the crash tests. By doing so, you can become more knowledgeable of the safety of vehicles today and it is my genuine concern that if you can afford a new vehicle that you look at the crash tests and ratings before purchasing a vehicle.

Subaru Saved My Life is a collection of stories from people who were able to walk away from an accident because of their safety.
Their new Forster is the only small SUV to ace all areas in IIHSs new small overlap crash test. IIHS has started this new small overlap crash test because this type of accident is where a fourth of serious injuries occur in vehicle crashes.
Subaru has advanced technology in their new cars that can prevent low speed crashes and avoid accidents. This technology is called EyeSight. On the front and rear of the Forster, Outback, and Legacy, is a camera that can see and detect things before the driver can. The sensor can trigger a warning signal to the driver and if needed apply the brakes. EyeSight can also detect if the vehicle sways outside of its lane and warn the driver. Subaru also has Vehicle Dynamics Control, which is a stability control system that detects steering and braking and aids in these areas for better control of the vehicle.
